Vinyl Gloves
Vinyl was the first synthetic material available to the consumer. Vinyl belongs to the plastic-material class of thermoplastic materials, according to the Handbook of Plastics and Elastomers. It softens easily upon heating then hardens and takes the shape of the vinyl glove mold upon cooling. Other examples of thermoplastics are nylons, poly carbonates, polyurethanes, polyethylenes and polypropylenes. Vinyls are relatively tough and strong, resist water and abrasion, and are excellent electrical insulators. They are not ruined by prolonged contact with water, oils, foods, or common chemicals. This makes them a superior key component for medical grade gloves.

Why Choose Vinyl?
Vinyl gloves are an economical choice for those seeking an alternative to latex for general use. Vinyl may not have the close-fitting flexibility of other synthetics, but for use in activities that do not require the highest degree of tactile precision, vinyl offers the best value.

Vinyl gloves tend to puncture or tear more easily and do not fit as well as a nitrile or latex. They are at their best when used for short procedures that don't involve contact with blood or body fluids, and should only be used in low risk procedures.
